technical grade is bethween 96% and 98% ethanol and ethanol absolute means pure ethanol whithout water ('almost') 99.9% ethanol

Absolute ethanol has no water whereas 96% ethanol has 4% water or 98% has 2% water. Thus, the reaction can occur with water.

Does regular plus contain ethanol?

Why is denatured alcohol preferred over regular ethanol in industrial applications?

Denatured alcohol is preferred over regular ethanol in industrial applications because it contains additives that make it unfit for human consumption, which allows it to be sold without the high taxes associated with beverage alcohol. This makes denatured alcohol more cost-effective for industrial use while still providing the benefits of ethanol as a solvent or fuel.


Can E85 ethanol and regular unleaded gas be mixed?

Regular gasoline can be used in an E85 vehicle, but E85 cannot be used in a vehicle that wasn't designed for it. Why? Bascially moving E85 creates a static charge, so the gas system needs to be mostly plastic to reduce the risk of sparking (plastic fittings, tubes, etc).


How would the energy content per gram of gasohol compare to that of plain gasoline?

Gasohol would have less energy per gram than Gasoline. which is why E85 or flex fuel cars get better mileage with regular gasoline than E85 gas. it is also why some gas stations have "better gas" than others. some companies put more ethanol in their regular gas than others, all while staying under the 10% limit regulated by law.

How much ethanol is in regular gasoline?

In regular gasoline, there is no ethanol. If the pump indicates the gasoline is E10, it contains 10% ethanol and by law it should be indicated by a sticker on the pump. Some states mandate all pump fuel to have ethanol. Most recent auto engines can handle E10 gas, but it should be avoided for marine applications. E10 gas can damage engines not designed for it.
